Book Review: magical fantasy
Summary: 4 Stars
If you like the writings of Jack Vance I am sure this book will appeal to you. The hero- a Sherlock Holmes of some far future- is asked by the Archon-the ruler of Old Earth- to untangle a mystery which involves a book written in a language spoken on a world eons before of which not a single person remains. The language therefore is indecipherable by any normal means. To add to our heroes problems he has passed through a force of sorts that has split is persona in two and he is constantly having conversations with himself, some in private , others out loud.
This is an enjoyable book written very well but probably will only be enjoyed by the devout.
